The Most Common Passwords In 2016
January 19, 2017 | 12:15 / Interesting information
Password management company Keeper Security released a list of the most common passwords of 2016 ― and it’s, well, shameful.
The most popular password, making up nearly 17 percent of the 10 million passwords the company analyzed, was “123456.” “Password” was also among the top 10 passwords, coming in as the eighth most common, psm7.com says.
Keeper Security assembled the list using a collection of passwords that were leaked through data breaches in 2016. The company didn’t include leaked passwords if the breaches were announced that year but occurred prior to 2016, co-founder and CEO Darren Guccione noted in a blog post that revealed the findings.
